Parminder (Par) Singh, who serves on the SikhRI Board of Advisors, welcomes this event to the Lower mainland as “a great way to engage young people in the community and get them excited about this organization’s offerings to the community as they discover their individual relationships with Sikhi.”

In addition to the fundraising event, there will be an interactive dialogue on Monday, 29 October from 5:30-7:30pm at the Axio Business Centre in Surrey.
